At least one person was killed and over 30 injured as Russian drones struck a railway station in the northeastern Ukrainian city of Shostka on Saturday, intensifying attacks on the country’s transport and energy infrastructure ahead of winter.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy called the strike “savage,” saying drones targeted two passenger trains in quick succession — a local commuter service and one bound for Kyiv — during an evacuation. Authorities later found the body of a 71-year-old man in a damaged carriage.

Ukraine’s deputy prime minister Oleksiy Kuleba said the second strike hit as rescuers were helping passengers, describing it as a “double-tap” attack — a tactic often used to target emergency responders.

The assault knocked out power in Shostka and nearby areas, while further Russian drones and missiles overnight hit Ukraine’s energy network, damaging gas facilities near Chernihiv and affecting tens of thousands of homes.

Ukraine’s military said it intercepted 73 out of 109 drones launched overnight. Meanwhile, Ukrainian drones struck Russia’s Kirishi oil refinery near St. Petersburg, causing explosions and a fire — the latest in a series of attacks on one of Russia’s largest refineries.

Separately, French photojournalist Antoni Lallican, 37, was killed in a Russian drone strike near Druzhkivka in eastern Ukraine, becoming the 14th reporter to die since the invasion began in 2022.
